Timothy turned around in a flash, and saw something that he would rather not see. He spotted this half-a-foot tall, rat-like creature, and didn't know what to think of this. Considering that the creature also had a belly button, he got even more confused, because this had to be a mammal, rather than a rat or anything like that.

“What in the name of Falakus, Firunal, and Farazal are you?!” He asked, and although he didn't worship those gods himself, he mentioned their name as a way to release his frustration. He was being dramatic.

“I'm a leech, well, I'm an Albino Scavenger Leech, but let's avoid the long names. Call me Thomas.” The creature answered, and he spoke the goblin tongue fluently somehow. “I'm supposed to be here, but what are you doing in a dragon’s stomach?”

“I'm looking for my friends, this orc bastard swallowed them whole! They were alive a few minutes ago, I could hear them, but now… I can't even find their bodies.” He explained.

Then, Thomas followed along. “Aqus gobl

    Timothy, and the team returned to the waters. Once they swam a hundred or so meters, he released the Sea Orc from the crippling set of extra bones that he had riddled it with. The beast was free now, well, its spine was still messed up, but the hundreds of Albino Scavenger Leeches that lived within the dragon, said that they could heal the dragon’s spine, so it was far from dying!It was expensive for Timothy to let the dragon live, but he didn’t want to upset those little guys either, because he feared that his head would be split in two, if the leeches chose to get violent! The albino leeches possessed flesh mana, a kind of mana that even Arvena was unaware of, so it was best not to anger them! The dragon was spared, and it was also in no condition to chase the team, so this was a win-win, and lose-lose situation. Anyway, since the team was in the water, they could continue their seemingly insane motive of chasing after the Ruins of Aqumus! It was looking more and more insane to go

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 192 - MQ

    Timothy usually loathed spending a massive amount of system points, or mana points come to think of it, but in this particular situation that they were in, the prior was justified. A purer mana quality on its own wasn't enough to survive the squabbles of The Old Sea, not with the team's current levels that is, so he had to rely on the grand modifications that the system offered in order to survive. With enough upgrades, even his level six mana could look and act gigantic!The purchase that the system recommended the most, was the amplification of the Dual Casting trick that he used so often! Dual Casting wasn't a power or an ability per se, it was just a thing that came naturally while a mage progressed, and in this case, the system could alter it so Dual Casting would cost less mana points to initiate![You can amplify the Dual Casting option, by 25% in exchange for 8,000 system points. It's an expensive purchase, but at least your mana pool won't be in shambles every time you try to

    The Mana Quotient upgrade was as painful as it was expensive! Not only did it put his guts and spine into a strain, but it also affected his brain, since intelligence was primarily located on one's brain! Timothy felt as if a viral virus was attacking his nervous system, he felt dumber by the second once the pain intensified, but he didn’t fear such foul effects per se, because he knew that they were temporary.Timothy endured the pain for a whole hour, and at that point, the pain threshold was too high for him to handle, so he fainted. Fainting was one of the best things that could happen to him right now, because the pain he felt while unconscious was reduced by at least a third! He got a bit of peace like this.The upgrade was lengthy, because it would ultimately make him different from most mages. As a fish, he would end up being almost godly after this upgrade, and if he chose to shift into a mammal again, then he'd be one of the most magically fluent mammals within the Fintelus’

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 194 - Mana Channels, and the creation of new abilities!

    The tuna fish had a quick death, most of its nervous system was fried immediately, so its brain died off moments later. It didn’t suffer any pain, because its pain receptors couldn't carry out any signals, hence, even though it was necessary to kill this fish, for the team’s sustenance, the kill was very merciful. The tuna fish was then dragged towards the bony den, where it was later consumed. The fish was six meters long, so it just barely fit in their den, which in a sense was a good thing, because its fat body could keep the team fed for a week no doubt! Timothy and Skendus were the biggest fish, and the latter had decided to shapeshift into a sawfish in order to regenerate more mana a day, so the fact of the matter was that the two of them were to consume a lot more food on average. If they were to be healthy, the two of them needed at least twenty pounds of decent meat a day, just to sustain themselves! Anyway, food aside, the team were still rather terrified by the display of

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 195 - Cheap Reanimator

    Timothy created a new ability, a fully necromantic ability, even, because he was supposed to reanimate skeletons with it! He absorbed the new power in his body, and hoped that it would work like it was supposed to, because he didn’t want to spend all day tugging on strings of mana channels, regardless of how enthralling that may sound, especially since it didn't cost any mana to experiment. It was interesting, but he didn’t want to spend hours creating abilities that he would then dispose of.“Okay… I need test subjects.” He muttered.Afterwards, he slipped out of the bony den, swam nearly twenty meters away from it, and tried to put his new ability to the test! A dark cloudy substance oozed out of the barb of his tail during the attempt, but this cloud was small, because he wasn't cranking the ability up to the max. He didn’t need to.The cloud then traveled around his close vicinity, and sought out skeletons to reanimate. This part of the process was costly, he was spending two-hund

    “My very own monster… erg, fish? It's as if I'm Doctor Frankenstein, only without the creepy lightning.” He joked.What he achieved here had a lot more math included in it, and of course, he was aided by what could be considered dark magic. It was dark, because he had disturbed this little guy's watery grave, gave it eyes, senses, a brain to think for itself once more, but he didn’t give it a soul. He couldn't do that as of now.Sure the anglerfish looked happy, but Tim got sad once he remembered that this little guy's life was purely artificial. The anglerfish, and its insides in its entirety, would fade away in a few weeks if Tim didn't feed it any more mana by then, they would fade away, regardless of how realistic the little, four-inch fish seemed!By his calculations, he had to feed his little slave here, a hundred points of mana by every end of the month, or else it would die, again! It would fade away.Anyway, although the ethical aspects of his second experiment were very chal

    After these couple of successful experiments, Timothy went back to his den. His slaves tried to follow suit, but he ended up discarding most of them, particularly those bigger, useless skeletons. He didn’t want them flapping around aimlessly, without even a pair of eyes to call their own, so he disposed of them mercifully. However, he couldn’t find the strength to dismantle that little anglerfish, and the assfish that he had reanimated, it seemed cruel to kill them, so he allowed them to follow him, though he wasn’t sure what he was going to do with such useless creatures!Anyway, regardless of the ethical dilemmas regarding his experiments, Tim was still quite happy that he was able to recreate life! The MQ upgrade that he bought, may be one of the most important purchases that he had ever made, regardless of how expensive the purchase was! It was worth the points!Tim's understanding of magic had increased exponentially, and he was happy about that, though due to the same few experi

    The Extingus Breath ability was like a forcefield for Timothy, except it wasn’t as strong as Ortana's force fields so he had learned not to depend on it. This ability mainly featured a blue mist, a cloud of sorts, so it wasn’t exactly physical.This ability was meant to dissolve attacks, more than it was to stop them dead on the spot. If he breathed out a bigger, and wider Extingus Breath, the cooperative blue cloud would be able to dismantle even bigger attacks, which was advantageous, but he hadn't fully figured out what this ability was capable of, so he'd rather proceed with caution.“Might as well buy it since it can protect me from evil shit, then! It doesn't cost anything to cast it either, so I could really use it.” He said.The system acted accordingly, she initiated the upgrade sequence. Within a few seconds, Tim experienced lock jaw, and although this wasn't too painful, it was rather immobilizing, because the lockjaw paralyzed a sizable portion of his upper body! He was ha

    Garry was led to the burrow of the groundhog he befriended. The burrow was close by, several meters away, and it didn’t quite look appealing from the outside, which was expected, as the burrow only had a couple of holes that they considered entrances.Well, one entrance was a fake one. It led nowhere, and it was used to keep predators busy, such as foxes.The other entrance led to the deep interior of the burrow, and quite frankly, Garry was astounded when he squeezed into it. This was no mere home with weak, dirt walls to hold it up, no, as everything within the burrow was enhanced by a six-inch layer of carved stone! The stone walls within the burrow weren’t placed randomly. They weren’t bumpy, but rather, they were smooth, and had these rows of symbolic words carved into it with a language that he could not understand. Nevertheless, he was impressed.“Woa…” Garry sighed, as he looked at the walls around him.“Why are you loafing about here?” The guiding groundhog asked. “This is o

  • Chapter 371 - AAAAA!!

    As of recently, Garry was at the pinnacle of his life! He became an Arch Mage at a fairly young age, young for a demonic basilisk, at least, and ever since he got to this rank, he had eased up on a lot of his beliefs or principles, and was just enjoying his life.In hindsight, he didn’t care much to progress into the following rank, which was that of an Arch Magus. He figured that such a title was years away from him, if not decades, so he simply didn't think about it much. He wasn't worried that he stumbled into another mana bracket as soon as got to the third level of the seventh realm of mana. He was okay with it.Initially, one of the main reasons he chose to stay in this universe rather than going back to the universe of hell, was because he wanted to help Timothy, his former summoning master, progress. He felt indebted to help Timothy, because he had saved him from deadly wounds back in those old ruins, so he chose to stay.However, he couldn’t help Timothy progress all that muc

  • Chapter 370 - Dark Moon

    “Freedom… it outweighs everything in the world, be it mana or gold.” She thought, as she breathed in the crisp air at the crack of dawn.Fortana was up in the sky, along with her dragon, and she was now about forty-kilometers away from the City of Fik. She decided to leave the city for a short while, for two reasons.Firstly, she and her team were stuck in the city for an undetermined amount of time. Timothy said that they’d be stuck in the City of Fik for around a month, but she figured that they’d be stuck there for several months, and she could not remain stationary for that long. She spent most of her life stuck in the Dungeons of the Old, and now that she had gotten a taste for freedom, she could simply not remain in one place for long, otherwise she would either sink into depression, or suffer through wave after wave of anxiety. She didn’t like it.The second reason why she left the city was primarily related to her self-absorbed need to improve her arsenal. Most Expert Mages ha

  • Chapter 369 - Bored

    The eight-hundred Expert Mages that joined the frontline were quite capable. They were very useful on the count that Timothy and his team spent a few hours nudging them in the right direction, and once they got a hang of what to do, there was no stopping them!Ten more shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orcs had tried to attack the city before sunset, and the Expert Mages, otherwise known as the city's soldiers, had killed them all! They killed them without losing a single man or woman in the exchange of attacks.They discovered that the giant orcs had this odd ability to toss exploding fireballs around almost randomly, but they worked around it. Ten mages shot fireballs at the giants to overwhelm them, essentially blind them, and then twenty mages snuck below the line of fire, and froze the giants solid! This method worked like a charm, and Timothy had helped them develop it, so the mages didn't lose arms and legs during their many fights.The dark giants helped them. Fortana insisted for the

  • Chapter 368 - 800 Expert Mages

    Timothy needed about ten minutes to explain to Cornelius everything that had happened over the past hour. It was quite difficult to explain such a complex matter to a man that did not care, but he got through to him eventually. At the end, Cornelius bluntly added, “I understand. You accidentally killed what, like five-hundred soldiers? It happens.”Furthermore, he added, “But if you want to mask your mistake properly, you best add a couple more frozen giants. You can sell your story easier to the city officials if you say that five giants went neck to neck with the city’s best mages.”“Right,” Tim nodded, and then he communicated with Fortana telepathically, and got the tip across to her, even though she was forty meters away. “Add two more frozen giants. It’ll be more believable.”While Fortana got into work, he turned to Cornelius, and asked, “You don’t care about this city at all, do you? Genuine question. Are you only loyal to yourself?”“I’m only loyal to my pool progression, an

    “What the hell was that! Aren’t your giants supposed to be under your control?” Tim pressured.Rattled, Fortana answered, “They are under my control. However, if hundreds of people charge at them, they’re gonna defend themselves no matter what I say. Those stupid bastards dug their own grave.”“We have a big problem here,” He said. “Anyone who can put two and two together will think that we killed the soldiers. We cannot afford to be banished from the city.”Fortana was aware of that, and for a moment she felt helpless, however she then came up with an idea that sounded plausible. She swiftly created a giant, one that looked a lot like the Ancient Sea Orcs that they’ve been killing, but she avoided giving life to the giant, and just froze it in place.Afterwards she created two more of these replicas, and placed all of them in front of the soldiers along with the first, frozen giant. By all means, she was trying to fake a battle scene.“There you go,” She said. “The sea orcs froze the

    The barricade of ice that Timothy had created was holding strong. Now the barricade wasn’t much taller than the sea itself, but it was dense, it reached almost at the bottom of the ocean for the most part, so it was a great tool in terms of keeping the Ancient Sea Orcs away. The ice barricade may even last several days, on the count that the temperature around, and within the ice was quite low. The mild summer rays would need days to melt through it.Anyway, Timothy had hoped that the system would inform him that he had successfully killed one of these sea orcs, through the barricade alone. He was hoping that he had frozen one of them solid, but this did not appear to be the case.By all odds, any of the remaining sea orcs who originally planned to walk their way out of the sea, were scared off as soon as the temperature of the water around them dropped significantly. When Timothy thought about the matter this way, he further confirmed his theory that the creatures he was dealing wit

  • Chapter 365 - Hydro, tainting

    Timothy initially wanted to take the battle to the sea, and kill every last Ancient Sea Orc out there. That was his idea this morning, however, they had barely thought about what they would do if the sea orcs brought the battle up here beyond the shores!It was normal that they hadn’t thought about it, because in a normal situation, sea creatures shouldn't walk. It wasn’t natural. Timothy was dumbfounded, however, he also understood that it was imperative that he and the team stayed here, in front of the beach, so as to prevent any remaining sea orc from attacking the City of Fik. They had to stay, until backup arrived.Today, the city had proved themselves utterly unprepared when it came to managing a disaster. It was evident, so the team couldn’t, in good conscience, leave their spot until a bunch of soldiers arrived here on the beach, and manned the frontline. “Don't be discouraged, guys.” Tim tried to motivate his team. “Remember all the gold we're gonna make. At the very least,

  • Chapter 364 - Timothy Tentacles

    The team killed a shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orc a moment ago, and they were proud of it, as the battle had been swift, and their moves were effective. However, they did not expect to see four more of these giant monsters pop out of the sea! They were petrified.“Dragons, cover fire!” Timothy yelled out again.The dragons understood what those words meant now, so they didn’t have to be taught as much this time around in order for them to contribute. They started blasting fireballs towards the giants, and even though it was more difficult to push all four of them away, the contribution the dragons were putting into the battle was worthwhile! If not anything more, it served as a great distraction. Timothy then gathered his team of goblins, and the two giants that were also on his team, them being Garry and Gustav, and then they rushed into battle! The giants were less than forty meters away from them, and they wanted to take control of the situation before these monsters got the chance t
